Final Speech of the Secretary General of the CC CPSU (Leonid I. Brezhnev) after Discussion at the WP Leaders' Meeting in Crimea

31 Jul 1973
Description: This document is a transcript of the concluding speech by Soviet leader Brezhnev at the July 1973 Crimea meeting of Warsaw Pact party leaders. In his final remarks, Brezhnev criticizes Ceauşescu on the following three accounts: (i) his false estimation of the contribution of China to the decreasing in world tension, (ii) defending the principle of not criticizing other parties - a principle, Brezhnev says, which leads to opportunism, and (iii) the Romanian proposal in the direction of simultaneous dissolving of the Warsaw Pact and NATO. The East German version is considerably shorter than the Bulgarian one.
